The Year Ahead A Letter From Your TWUSA President
Dear Student Body, Welcome mackenzie back to anDUNN other year at Trinity Western University! As your Student Association President, I would like to introduce TWUSA’s vision for the year: Leading, Partnering and Advancing with the Community. Through this, I believe that we will grow together, purposefully and intentionally, with the campus, and with the greater community. From our activities to our student representation, we want to set the pace and come alongside the university’s vision, progressing in this new year for TWU – join us as jX XaWXTibe gb cbf\g\iX_l \aàhXaVX our university culture and work together to advance community. This year, we hope to impact fghWXagf¹ _\iXf \a ßiX fcXV\ßV TeXTf- 1) Student Relations. TWUSA is here to serve you and is comprised of student leaders who are ready to walk alongside you in your university experience. We want the TWUSA lounge to be more approachable, and a place known to be a friendly and welcoming area where you can have access to our resources and connect with other students. 2) Our goal with student representation is to ensure that the students’ voices are heard and that there is active communication on campus. This also means that we as students have the opportunity to be a part of important university decisions. I would encourage you, as the school years moves along, to have a conversation with at least one or two TWUSA members regarding their special projects moving forward.

3) Our Communications team wants you to stay connected through our personal marketing, videos, and blogs. These things are imperative to T fhVVXffYh_ lXTe fb ßaW hf ba_\aX be through a TWUSA member to stay in the loop! Our desire is to provide information that is easily accessible and offer everyone the opportunity to get involved in the TWU community. 4) Events are another integral part of what we do on campus. Through our events, we hope to advocate strong involvement and participation from all student groups. We are looking forward to partnering with students and other leaders with their own initiatives as well, and if you would like more info on funding available for that, check in at the TWUSA lounge. 5) TWUSA wants to be aware of the spiritual development that TWU is so well known for. We are lovers of a wonderful God, and we want our lives to be an offering that honours him. This year, we will be continuing weekly prayer with the school community and we encourage the student body to attend as we pray for different branches of the university. We hope you know that we are honoured to serve you, especially at such a pivotal time in our history as a university. Our focus is on you and your experience here. We are open to hearing your opinions and covet your insight and ideas. Challenge us by keeping us accountable with your voice. We look forward to working with you this year and for what this year has in store. Blessings for your year ahead, Mackenzie Dunn President, TWUSA

The deck of cards that is Trinity Western andrew Ha\iXef\gl¹f ßPARKER nance and fach_gl jXeX f[hYàXW g[\f fh``Xe! G[X University has undergone some major changes in the last few months, most notably the stepping down of President Raymond, and the installment of Bob Kuhn as Interim President. With this has come a host of changes from layoffs and hires, to the creation of positions and the termination of others. All of this has been done in the aT`X bY XYßV\XaVl TaW c_TV\aZ T ße` foundation under the University upon which it can launch from. In the past, this school has faced YhaW\aZ W\YßVh_g\Xf WhX gb \gf fgTghf as a private institution. As a result, the budget has struggled in the past. To combat this, the faculty is looking to reassess and rework the staff and management. In a recent faculty communiqué, Interim President Bob Kuhn told staff that “earlier this summer, in a faculty business meeting and in a staff forum, we reviewed how our basic budget model for the University must change in order to place us on T ße`Xe Ybbg\aZ Yeb` j[\V[ jX VTa advance, without mortgaging our future.” The resulting assessment VThfXW T f[hYà\aZ \a `bfg fXVgbef of the university staff. It is clear that
Kuhn and his team are working hard to set the University on a sustainable path that will ensure that TWU lasts well into the future, through the realistic projection and management of funds. Derek Dawson, Senior Vice President of Business Affairs has been placed in “direct leadership” over Enrollment Management and University Communications for the next two years, as stated by Kuhn in the communiqué. According to Kuhn, “given the scope of what needs to be accomplished through these teams, I know you will agree that having permanent leaders, whether hired from within or otherwise, is the best long-term plan.” Just as the last few months have seen a serious restructuring of faculty, the next few years should see `T]be V[TaZXf \a g[X TeXT bY ßaTaVX and management.

BiXe g[X fh``Xe g[X `T]be hcZeTWX YbVhf jTf c_TVXW ba C[TfX BaX bY the revitalization of the Robert N. Thompson building and Stanley Nelfba 6XagXe! C[TfX BaXµbY gjbµ was comprised of most of the health and safety upgrades, connecting the fXVbaW àbbef bY Ubg[ Uh\_W\aZf gbgether, and upgrading the existing elevator shaft to comply with current building codes. “We really focused on the building between the two sections which is really, from a health and safety perspective, the anchor for both buildings,” states Loeppky. These health and safety upgrades are primarily seismic upgrades to the structure, bringing the building up to current building code. As well as creating a stronger, safer structure, the EAG TaW FA6 hcZeTWXf \aV_hWX g[X VeXTg\ba bY aXj bYßVX fcTVX T fXVbaW story atrium, a student lounge, and an academic meeting area.

According to Loeppky, Phase BaX \f fXg gb UX Vb`c_XgXW Ul g[X XaW of September. Phase Two is slated to begin sum`Xe X\g[Xe %#$' be %#$( Tg j[\V[ g\`X f\W\aZ j\aWbjf TaW ebbßaZ j\__ UX replaced.

The second phase will also include major changes to the interior of the building, such as the movement and adjustment of some rooms and hallways, and a gutting of many of the spaces.
The second major campus upgrade to take place over the summer was the building of the new Jordan G[\XffXa 6bheglTeW \a j[Tg jTf g[X aXZ_XVgXW 7bhZ_Tf 6XagXe 6bheglTeW! As many know, Jordan Thiessen jTf T Ge\a\gl JXfgXea Ha\iXef\gl ZeTWuate whose life inspired many, and j[bfX jbe^ Whe\aZ [\f g\`X Tg GJH greatly enriched the campus and the Vb``ha\gl! <a BVgbUXe bY _Tfg lXTe Jordan was killed in a devastating industrial accident. Shortly after, an initiative was launched, spearheaded by [\f `bg[Xe TaW GJH YTVh_gl `X`UXe Shirley Thiessen, to commemorate this remarkable student. Donations have since been collected to fund the project, which began about a month ago. The new courtyard will include a ßeX Ubj_ jTgXe YXTgheX f[TWX ZTeWXa and an area with tables and chairs. The courtyard has been designed to accommodate small groups, and perhaps even speakers. According to Loeppky, the majority of the work will be completed by the dedication on the fourteenth of this month. The project has been slightly delayed, due to the nature of its funding coming from donations, but is expected it to be completed by the end of the month. Students will be free to use the courtyard after the WXW\VTg\ba ba g[X $'g[ Uhg jX VTa Xkpect to see some workers around for a little while yet.
Alongside the two major summer projects, the campus has undergone its annual summer facelift. Each year, %## ### &## ### Wb__Tef bY g[X Ha\versity’s budget is put into the revitalization of the school. This includes painting, re-carpeting, upgrading c_h`U\aZ ßkgheXfµfhV[ Tf YThVXgf and toilets—and general maintenance in parts of almost every building. 7bhZ_Tf 6XagXe [Tf T_fb fXXa g[X Vb`c_Xg\ba bY g[X ßefg bY g[eXX c[Tfes, with the complete renovation of g[X ßefg àbbe `Xa¹f Wbe`f f\k TaW seven low), and the restructuring of the mail center—including the removal of many mailboxes. The upper àbbefµf\k TaW fXiXa `\WW_X TaW hcper—will be completely renovated in the next two phases of the Douglas 6XagXe eXi\gT_\mTg\ba! G[X ha\iXef\gl hopes to use this space in the future for accommodations for conferences during the summer months.
<a _\Z[g bY _Tfg lXTe¹f _Tcgbc g[XYgf and a history of stolen items, the Trin\gl JXfgXea Ha\iXef\gl 4W`\a\fgeTtion has assed what Assistant Provost Sheldon Loeppky calls “hot spots,” that is, areas of high risk for theft. The next step in making our campus more secure is a multi-phase project that will see the upgrading and adding of security cameras and the expansion of the existing swipe card system. No timeline is in place yet, but according to Loeppke, we can expect to see these hcZeTWXf gb YbVhf ßefg ba [\Z[ ce\beity areas such as residences, places j\g[ T _TeZX T`bhag bY <!G!

Our name stands for Local Outreach, Volunteering, and Evangelism. This group encompasses a large portion of the off-campus and on-campus ministry opportunities Trinity Western University provides for students. This year there are thirteen ways for you to get involved, from children’s ministries to working with prison inmates. L.O.V.E. is looking for students who have a heart for ministry and outreach and want to share the love of Christ with the communities of the Lower Mainland throughout the com-

ERIK DELANGE erik.delange@mytwu.ca
The Pint and the Cross From ancient Mesopotamia through erik DELANGE to our current Trinity Western University students, there have been few things as consistent as our culture’s enjoyment of beer. From Trappist monks in monasteries to hipsters in dive bars, beer has always been and arguably will always be a staple of our society. Little is known about how the Ancient Mesopotamians enjoyed beer. From what we do know about ancient Mesopotamian culture it is likely that beer was part of one of their debaucherous pagan festivals. From Biblical times we know that while drunkenness was condemned, wine was certainly a part of Jewish culture TaW =Xfhf¹ ßefg `\eTV_X jTf ghea\aZ water into wine. In medieval times it was commonplace for monks to brew beer in order to provide hospitality for weary travellers as well as to drink themselves.

“In Catholicism, the pint, the pipe and the 6ebff VTa T__ ßg gbZXg[er.” – GK Chesterton It was during the industrial revolution that the beer culture in North America really began to take off. Breweries began to operate more like factories and Lager beers were proWhVXW V[XTc XYßV\Xag_l TaW \a _TeZXe quantities than ever before making the lager the “Working man’s beer” and also making it a cheap way for people to get drunk.

tion, The Pavilion is solidly grounded in the actors’ ability to draw the crowd into the emotions of Kari and Peter. The set design, done by Mikaela Fuqua, caters to this simple, yet not simplistic, aspect of the show. Despite the obvious mature themes and strong language, The Pavilion is incredibly God-honouring. The honesty and integrity that pervade the actor’s performances more than covers the language. Although the actors only had a week and a half to prepare for their actual performances, leading to several stuttered lines, the emotional honesty and resonance given to every action more than compensates for this relatively minor stumble. As I sat through this riveting production, memories of my own began to surface, and things I had been holding onto confronted me and asked if I, like Kari and Peter, could let them go and allow the universe to go on. This is the essence of true theatre: that the audience confronts their own lives through the interaction of stage and audience.
Much like the indie music movement, beginning in the early 90s craft breweries began to emerge as an alternative to large-scale corporate beers brewed for mass consumption. Breweries began to emerge that cared about brewing as a beautiful art rather than as a commodity by which to maximize cebßgf! G[XfX aXj UXXef UeXjXW gb UX enjoyed, savoured, and critiqued like

Lewis said, “Over beer, tea and pipes.” Cheers.

“This is the way the unihanna verse begins.” WASWA So opens Craig Wright’s The Pavilion, the debut production of the Green Hall Theatre Company. directed by Eleanor Felton. The Pavilion is the story of Peter, played by Cody Friesen, and Kari, played by Amy Dauer. The high school sweethearts, who separated when Kari became pregnant, reunite at their ten-year high school reunion, and over the course of the night the two struggle to understand their feelings toward each other, their lives, and the universe. Circling it all is the Narrator, played by Brandon Bate, who intermittently slips in and out of Peter and Kari’s worlds as the rest of their classmates, male and female, leading to several hilarious and deeply insightful moments. Major themes of the work include the role of time, memory, and forgiveness in the human experience, and yet, even though each of those words conveys an artsy avant-garde produc-
is around the time the modern Christian rejection of beer culture became more commonplace. As alcoholism began to rise in North America, different strategies like the prohibition emerged and the issue became more and more polemic and polarised. Thankfully, this generation has begun to reverse this polarising trend with the emergence of Craft Brewing.

Some Thoughts on Music Piracy When I was 10 years old, my friend and I diserik Kazaa: DELANGE covered an online music _\UeTel j[XeX jX Vbh_W ßaW i\eghally any song we wanted and have it on our computer within minutes! We immediately began searching for every song we liked just to see how far the scope of Kazaa reached. 4_baZ j\g[ g[\f ßefg XkcXe\XaVX though, there was a small part of me that was hesitant. Surely there was something a little bit sketchy, a little bit dirty about enjoying a song that weeks prior I would’ve had to go to the record store and purchase the full album to enjoy. I began to educate myself. What jTf ß_X f[Te\aZ2 <g¹f VT__XW f[Te\aZ j[Tg¹f jebaZ j\g[ f[Te\aZ2 < watched documentaries such as Steal this Film, and I read all the hilarious comments from the founders of the Pirate Bay.

There’s a lot of mud that’s been slung at Trinity. Christianity has gotten a bad rap—some of it deserved—and now peter WOEKEL people are afraid.

But the number of people that it’s rarely given credit or recognized.

from the student body, from the senate, from the faculty, from the deans, from the staff at different levels. The community council will be charged with reviewing, taking into consideration, making recommendations, to what would be a President’s Council or President’s Cabinet.
LIBERAL ARTS MH: You mentioned the trend away from liberal arts education and towards vocation training and technical education. What do you see as the purpose of a liberal arts education? Why is it important? BK: I think a liberal arts education is critically important if we are to focus on the idea of education itself as opposed to training. We are not a training institution. We are an educational institution. It’s an approach that says education itself is of value. If we simply train technicians, we’re missing the boat. The liberal arts and its history is such that it’s not geared towards ßaW\aZ jbe^! <gf ZbT_ \f gb UXVb`X Ta educated person.

It’s better if it leads to a job, but that doesn’t mean its no good in and of itself. HEATED ISSUES MH: How about Trinity’s proposed Law School, is there any news on that front? BK: Not so far. We have been and continue to be very hopeful. I’m optimistic we will get the Law School. We’ve done, perhaps, a disservice gb g[X TeZh`Xag Ul iTVTg\aZ g[X ßX_W a bit. People say we ban gays, well that’s not true. We don’t ban gays any more than we ban heterosexuals who want to have pre-marital sex. We’re just being picked on because we’re an easy target. Every Muslim, Sikh, Jew, most of the world’s religions have the same view as we do. In my opinion this is really a question of religious freedom, and solely a question of religious freedom. I will venture to say that there is not a single cXefba g[Tg [Tf UXXa \aàhXaVXW gb become a narrow-minded, bigoted, homophobic person because they have gone to Trinity Western.

in context. Kevin came here. We as a university sponsored his dialogue. So number one, we are not refusing to listen to someone who has a different point of view. Number two, the fact of his actual, personal, beliefs were not recorded until they hit the Statement of Faith, which sort of grounds who we can hire and who we can’t hire. If someone can’t sign the Statement of Faith, than we have to look at is this T V_Te\ßVTg\ba be Ta haWXefgTaW\aZ issue? Like, “I understand predestination to mean this”, or is it TVghT__l T dhT_\ßVTg\ba fTl\aZ ¶ab < don’t believe the same thing as what the statement of faith says”. Now, that’s what happened with Kevin Miller, he wrote on it that he doesn’t believe in the Article 10 of the Statement of Faith. Now what I’m not communicating is that someone else might not have some position out there that struggles with different aspects. We have to deal with them one at a time. So, it’s not a conclusion of general application. Now, the unfortunate part, and I apologized to him personally, was that even though I believed that the decision was the right decision, is that the process did not allow us to dialogue about it. We were talking a week before school started. I don’t know when we received it, but I wasn’t aware of it until that point in time. His attempt to escalate the harm potentially caused to Trinity Western is the thing that bothers me most. If he disagrees with my opinion, then let him disagree with me, let him take me on, let him say, “Bob Kuhn is a jerk and he did this thing wrong”. I’ll take that. But when he tries to harm the institution that he wanted to be a part of, I see that as inconsistent. It bothers me that somebody who wanted be a part of the fabric of this place is very quick to tear it down by going to Douglas Todd. You can Google Douglas Todd and Trinity Western and lbh jba¹g ßaW T f\aZ_X Teg\V_X g[Tg¹f supportive of Trinity Western. He knew that. It’s sad to me that commentary is given credibility. He says we’re narrow minded, but if we really were narrow minded we would have never allowed him to show his movie. And we’d show his movie again as far as I’m concerned. It’s not trying to stop people from thinking, but when we hire representatives of our Statement of Faith, we have to [TiX T VXegT\a _XiX_ bY TYßa\gl! <g¹f not academic anarchy, it’s academic freedom. And freedom without constraint is anarchy.

Have you ever been so full of the world’s breath beneath [your skin] your bones? It’s a kind of silence that presses in and around and from inside you. A melancholy you can’t quite reach. You can’t own. Rather, it takes you in and calls you its own. It comes to you, it wraps around the back of your spine and spreads, invading your lungs till you feel it in each breath, shooting through your legs and down your arms. Till you wonder if it will hang heavy from your f ingertips. See, I met it in a moment of quiet, where even the water was a faint rhythm rather than a visible song and the wind crooned to a whisper at the bare bounds of hearing. Where the world was built of edges soft and still. And I stood and listened to the most profound conversation, woven by the mouths of two friends as they stood a few feet away.
Jessica Hurd Untitled
It was as if I could hear the hum of their souls vivid, loud, alive in the space between their words. For a moment the future and the past lay stretched out, stark as daylight before and behind. And I stood at the medium of joy and sorrow sitting heavy all at once. Between the collision of this waking vision, the rent in the veil between the concrete and the intangible.

Extraordinary Ordinary Keys and c l o c k s , lamps and derek brooms, SCOTT these are but simple, ordinary, commonplace items. Why the fascination with them? Why do many of our great stories imbue these objects with the most fascinating traits? Take, for example, the classic tale of Aladdin, a story that follows a lowly street rat and his discovery of T `TZ\VT_ _T`c TaW àl\aZ VTecXg! By themselves these two items are nothing more than mere dust collectors, undeserving of much attention, and yet with the magic given them, have instead captivated audiences with their thrilling intrigue. And this phenomenon of turning quite mundane objects into items of awe is not new in the least. From Plato’s magical Ring of Gyges in the Republic, to the alchemic Hand of Midas in Arabian Nights, to C.S. Lewis’ enchanted wardrobe, and all the poisoned apples, talking mirrors, and magic beans in between the great epics and fairytales of all time have consistently gripped us with fantastically plain objects. As I stepped back and thought TUbhg g[XfX bU]XVgf < ßefg Vbaf\Wered the possibility that perhaps we generally pick them because they cebi\WX hf j\g[ T c_TVX gb Yh_ß__ bhe intrigue and creativity; that in the pouring out of our ideas, we give shape to our passions and fancies. Of course, one must not forget that the objects we pick do in fact
possess roles in the commonplace, which in turn play a part in our choosing them. For instance, a key is meant to unlock something and a `\eebe ßaWf \gf \`cbegTaVX \a cebi\W\aZ T eXàXVg\ba! FgT\eVTfXf _XTW to doors and doors to rooms. In and of themselves these items do not mean much, however, the moment you add a pinch of the unbelievable into the picture, these things come alive with excitement. The mirebe abj eXàXVgf Xai\XW UXThgl g[X stairs go on forever, and the glass slippers hold onto a frail promise of marriage and happiness. The more I considered it, though, the less I began to think these stories’ objects were solely chosen to provide a container for our mysteries. I think there is something more to it than that. The answer, I believe, lies not in `Ta¹f aXXW gb ßaW T ß__ TU_X [b_low, but rather in his desire to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. And of all the ordinary things out there, the most intriguing object to us is ourselves. We are the wannabe heroes, knights, and rescuers. We are the hopefuls wishing we received our invitations to Hogwarts. We are the ones wishing we could àl fgbc g\`X TaW W\fTccXTe! CXehaps I am wrong, but I don’t think it is absurd to think that people want to be unique. Better, even. Now often such desires to be more can in fact be founded in our own insecurities and fears, but below all of that, I believe that there does in fact exist in each of us something greater than the com-
monplace, a thread woven through our very being. A long time ago, humanity was entirely that, extraordinary. Though we were made creatures of the created order, we at the same time were also given divine life by God who made each person after His own image. Following His design, what made us unique from the commonplace was to be our resemblance to Him. And though we fell into the stained black uniformity of sin, that memory of what once was, has since remained. God, refusing to let His image in us perish into nothingness, held on, and through his victory on the cross, has been taking back what’s rightfully His. His desire to renew us and make us beautiful and marvelous once more echoes loudly in our souls and though we may not realize it, spills over into our own love of the ordinary we see everyday. And so as we continue to read our stories of magical rings of power, or bY T àbjXe¹f ]h\VX g[Tg \afc\eXf _biX may we remember but one thing: that the desire to make the commonplace special comes from a desire not of our own. As we look down on things below, may we take a glimpse upwards to the above, to God, who desires the same thing of ourselves: to make the imperfect, perfect; and the ordinary, extraordinary.

what the hell(bound)?
Those who have kept up with Trinity peter news over the WOEKEL summer may have heard that local documentary ß_``T^Xe >Xi\a @\__Xe j\__ ab _bager be joining the teaching staff at Trinity Western this year. Miller, who
|
is probably best known for his movie Hellbound?, was set to teach a communications course on documentary ß_``T^\aZ g[\f YT__! ;bjXiXe ]hfg over two weeks ago Kevin was told that he would not be able to teach the course because his beliefs on Hell did not appropriately line up with those in the school’s Statement of Faith
(Article 10). Over the past week I have been able to talk with both Kevin and our Interim President Bob Kuhn about the whole thing. About this time last year, Kevin Miller released his documentary Hellbound?, questioning traditional beliefs in a Hell of eternal conscious torment. Within the documentary he introduced what he called “hopeful universalism,” the idea that God is greater than death or sin, and that we can hopefully assume that God will redeem everyone, whether they have accepted Him as their saviour or not. A few months after its release, >Xi\a jTf \ai\gXW gb f[bj g[X ß_` at TWU and even hosted a question panel afterwards, which included himself, other speakers from the ß_` TaW iTe\bhf Ge\a\gl cebYXffbef! The showing and panel were very well received. The auditorium was packed with both students and staff, and the question period resulted in a lot of good discussion, both within the auditorium and afterwards. That’s why, when last spring he was asked by the SAMC department to teach a course on documentary ß_``T^\aZ `Tal fghWXagf Zbg iXel excited. Kevin has a lot of experience in the business, having been involved in several documentaries of his own. It is also why, when he was told that he would not be able to teach the newly formed class this year, many students and staff were very disappointed. Fully aware of his views on Hell, Kevin’s teaching position was greenlighted by the SAMC department in the spring and he was told that his views on Hell would not be an issue. However, after providing a clarifying statement to Trinity’s Statement of Faith, a fairly common practice
among professors, he was informed that his views were not clarifying but outright contradictory to Article 10 of the Statement, and that he would not be able to teach at Trinity for that reason. This is concerning for a few reasons. As a Christian institution, Trinity needs to ensure it is holding itself to an excellent standard of professionalism. Unfortunately in this situation, that standard was not met. Miller was told his view on Hell would not be a problem. It was. It wouldn’t really have been an issue if Miller was informed in a timely manner. But telling someone two weeks before they start a course that their fundamental views, which are very well known, exclude them from teaching a course is disrespectful of their time and energy. Trinity recognizes their failure in that regard. When speaking with Bob Kuhn, Trinity’s interim president, he admitted that the process was much messier than it should have been. Miller should have been informed earlier, and he should have been informed better. I hope that Trinity is able to learn from this. It sounds like Kuhn, at the very least, is eager to. The more concerning issue arises when we start to consider academic freedom. Plato, the father of the university, believed that the heart of education is the discovery of truth. Fundamental to that discovery process is a need for the sharing of ideas. What does it say of our university if we do not allow someone to teach because their ideas are too different? It says a lot, but I think what it says is actually quite hopeful. Miller recognizes that a Christian university needs to set boundaries of belief for its staff. While I do not nec-
essarily agree with the University’s decision in dismissing Miller’s theology, the fact that the university—under a new president’s leadership— was willing to stick to its theological guns is, I believe, praiseworthy. This is particularly so in the context of the recent attention given to our Community Covenant and proposed Law School. Miller dismisses the idea that a ha\iXef\gl f[bh_W ßaW \gf \WXag\gl \a its theology, stating that we should \afgXTW ßaW bhe \WXag\gl \a T f[TeXW way of life. However, I don’t believe the two can be unbound from each other. What is theology for, if not to create in ourselves a way of life? Let me be clear, I am not suggesting this theological issue should be left alone. It is important and it needs to be discussed. But we also need to recognize that the discussion is dangerous. The Apostle Paul mentions often the dangers of installing those with questionable theology into positions of power. I’m not convinced that Miller’s theology is questionable, but I do believe that we as an institution should be sure of our stance on the issue before we provide the implied support that would come with a teaching position. Miller has been asked back as a guest lecturer, and Kuhn expressed no interest in shutting down the Hell discussion. I for one have hope that Trinity is fully willing to explore that aspect of its identity, just under its own terms.

We Are All Spartans
NICK ZATOR
We all see them. We see them in their andrew PATTERSON Spartan shirts, jackets, track pants, sweat pants, sweatshirts, hoodies, and backpacks. Our athletes wear the logo constantly because they are a proud team. But to the rest of us
|
it may seem like they are just trying gb àThag g[X\e T`Tm\aZ Tg[_Xg\V TU\_\gl and special scholarships. I even hear hateful words around campus such as, “Stupid Spartans,” or “Oooo! They get special treatment!” But do they deserve all the hate they get? First off, let’s look at some other schools. Those who attend college,
particularly in the United States, become instant followers of their school’s team for the rest of their lives. For example, if you attend and graduate from Stanford, then you are very likely to be a Cardinal follower for the rest of your life. It doesn’t matter where you live after graduation, you would be loyal to your
school and the athletic program of that school. In fact, if you ask someone if they went to Stanford you may hear the answer, “Yes, I certainly graduated from Stanford,” but you are more likely to hear the answer, “Yup, I’m a Cardinal!” This is called being a fanatic, or ‘fan’ for short. Yes, that’s right people. It is our job to not
hate, but to be fans of our athletes! Because the reality is - they need us, and we need them. But why should we support them? What good do we get out of it? It’s simple. The Spartans represent TWU to the rest of the country, and they have been doing an outstanding job. Because of the amount of success the Spartans have on a yearly basis, TWU has become a very well known school throughout Canada. Normally, people on the other side of the country would not have heard of a little private university of 4000 students had not their local public universities been demolished by them in sports. And when we graduate from a wellknown school, employers are more impressed with our degrees. So we are very blessed to have talented athletes representing TWU. Every year, new students are given free Spartans t-shirts. This is a simple invitation from the Spartans to have the rest of the students to support them at their games. The more fans in the stands, the better, because the more support they get, the better their performance becomes. So instead of hating on Spartans, why not just call yourself a Spartan? Don’t be afraid to wear the logo from time to time. If you are a part of this school, then you should do yourself and your team a favour and root for the Spartans! And let’s not forget to have fun!
Weights on Their Shoulders Another successful season for Spartans soccer?
Trinity Western University’s strongest teams andrew are ready to face PATTERSON another season, but with expectations that reach the sky. As the number one ranked women try to repeat as champions, the men’s team will try to retain their dominance ba g[X ßX_W! J\g[ aXj TaW b_W YTVXf returning to the pitch and the preseason already wrapping up, it looks like the Spartans will be in for another stellar season. The women’s soccer team does not seem to be hung over at all from g[X\e V[T`c\baf[\c Tf g[Xl ßa\f[XW off the preseason with a 5-1 record. However, key departures have left a question mark on the back end. Nikki Byrne and Jilian Dietrich are two of the four starting defenders that have departed from the team. Although they have left a huge hole, this will leave opportunity for younger players to play in the back under the guidance of Colleen Webber and Jennifer Castillo, two of the best centre backs in the country. Other key departures include Kris-

ten Funk and Tessa Meyer, who were key contributors to the Spartan success in the past seasons. Fortunately, 11 of the 14 defending champions will be returning this year for the women’s team. With the core of last year’s team still remaining, the women’s Spartans soccer team will be expected to perform like champions and continue to hold that winning title. The men’s team has shown to be a
force in this league. Being undefeated in their exhibition matches, they have put a bit of fear in the eyes of the opponents. The Spartans men’s soccer team recruited nine new players, changing the face of the team. One of these nine include six-foot-three striker, Dominic Reinold. The German native has high expectations for the team as he has plenty of NCAA Div. 1 experience in his resume. Last season he notched 21 goals and eight assists in 36 games for Fairleigh Dickinson University. Coach Pat Rohla openly states that he has high expectations for Reinold, calling him a “program changer.” On paper this team has improved from last year and the hopes are high for our men’s team to come home this year with a championship. Although the pressure is on for these two teams, they have two excellent coaches—Graham Roxburgh and Pat Rohla. This pair has exhibited the ability to put teams together and create chemistry between their c_TlXef ba g[X ßX_W! 9be g[X g\`X UXing, all we can do is wait and see if they perform at the level of the expectations set upon them.

A Loss to Learn From
Spartans fall to UC Riverside in exhibition match It was a loud and proud Spartan atmosphere at the old David E. andrew Enarson Gymnasium on PATTERSON Friday night as the newly formed TWU Spartans took on the UC Riverside Highlanders of the NCAA. The Spartans experimented with new and returning players to prepare for the season. Although the Spartans took a hard 98-76 loss, it is simply a loss to learn from. The difference of skill level between div. 1 NCAA and CIS basketball certainly showed throughout the game. The Highlanders moved the ball better, took better shots, and ultimately scored more points than the Spartans. The Spartans struggled as they caused a few too many turnovers and did not play defense to the best of their capabilities. However, the Spartans did a fair job against a team from a league that is far superior to the CIS. Notable players for the Spartans were Mark Perrin, who scored a good 16 points, Denny McDonald, who scored 12, while Kelvin Smith and Anthony Ottley scored 11 points each. Ottley, a potential addition to the Spartans, showed much promise as he made his presence known throughout the game. <g jTf g[X ßefg dhTegXe j[XeX g[X FcTegTaf started to dig themselves into a hole; fortunately, they managed to stay consistent from the fXVbaW dhTegXe ba!

So I was watching Star Wars the other night, when I happened upon a startling and groundbreaking question: How do you get a job as an Imperial Star Ship Captain?
